God of War: How to Earn Hacksilver

On this page we're going to introduce a number of methods of how to earn Hacksilver in God of War.

Collect It from Dead Enemies

A lot of enemies will drop Hacksilver when you kill them. You’ll know that they’ve left behind some of the precious currency when you see a glowing yellow pouch on the ground. Collect it with the Circle button to pocket the funds.

Open Every Chest

Chests in God of War hide collectibles and other important items, but many also contain Hacksilver. Make sure you’re opening every chest that you come across in order to maximise your spending potential.

Break Crates, Barrels, and Other Items

While there’s not a massive amount of Hacksilver to be earned from smashing up crates, barrels, and other environmental furnishing, there is some cash to be made from this process. Also keep an eye out for buckets hanging from the ceiling of some areas; if you throw your axe at these, they’ll smash and leave behind a pouch of cash.

Sell Artefacts and Old Gear

You can safely sell any artefacts that you collect at one of Brok and Sindri’s shops for Hacksilver, and it won’t halt your progress through the Favours pertaining to those item sets. You can also sell off any old gear that you’re not using anymore. Don’t worry if you change your mind, as you can buy these items back at any time.
